Patient's question:
I am currently 28 weeks pregnant. My mother-in-law always wants me to have a thorough check-up to see if it's a boy or a girl. My husband is indifferent about it, but I myself am curious and also want to know earlier. However, it seems that hospitals will never tell you whether it's a boy or a girl. How do hospitals determine the gender during prenatal check-ups?Doctor's answer:
The fresh growth and development of the fetus generally occur after 16 weeks. Usually, after 16 weeks, you can see from an ultrasound whether it is a boy or a girl. However, whether it is a boy or a girl, it is still your treasure. It is recommended that you view it scientifically. During pregnancy, it is important to have regular prenatal check-ups, focus on nutrition, get adequate rest, and pay close attention to the baby's fetal movements. If the baby's movements increase significantly or continuously more than usual, it is important to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
